A lot of the reviews were scary. This one had the best rating/reviews for the price...and it is WELL worth it. I've been using it for the last 3 days and the battery is still 3/4's of the way charged. It syncs to my phone and does everything it says it does in the description. I will say, the only downfall is, in my opinion the sleep tracker may be off a bit. For the last couple days it says I go to bed at 11 something when I know I go earlier and once I sinc the watch to the phone is wake up time. As far as deep sleep and light sleep, so far it seems accurate because I haven't been waking up and the watch says that too. Lol. The watch isn't too bulky and is very secure on my wrist.

The Wrist Watches Buying Guide

BY: Editors |Jun 27, 2017

Even in the age of smartphones, a good watch is an essential part of your wardrobe. But with all the types of men's and women's wrist watches out there and all the strange terminology that accompanies them, it's hard to know exactly what to look for. Read on to learn about the different parts of a watch and to find out what questions you should ask before you buy one.

What are the parts of a watch?

While the inside of a watch can be exceptionally complicated, its exterior can be broken down into several discrete parts. Each of these contributes to the piece's aesthetics or its functionality.

Case: houses the movement and protects it from the elements (the movement refers to the parts that make the watch work; more on that below)

Dial: the watch face, sometimes enhanced with subdials that show seconds or chronograph readouts

Hands: the pieces that actually indicate the time

Marker:one of the numerals (or simple lines) around the watch face; also known as an index

Crystal: covers the dial to protect against dirt and water; made from one of three materials: lab-grown sapphire, which is second only to diamond in terms of its hardness; mineral, which is simply another term for glass; or acrylic, which is similar to plastic

Bezel: the outer frame that keeps the crystal in place; can be purely decorative or functional, with diving and stopwatch versions

Crown: a small piece on the side of the case that winds the movement and adjusts functions such as date and time; some watches include a crown protector to avoid accidental adjustments

Bracelet: a watchband made of metal links; tends to be large and eye-catching

Strap: a watchband made of leather, vegan leather, silicone, or another flexible material; typically more subtle than a bracelet

Clasp: keeps the band secured to the wrist; the most common types are buckle (or ardillon) and deployment (or deployant) clasps

How does the watch work?

One of the main considerations when buying a watch is its movement: literally, what makes it tick.

Manual Mechanical

Now produced mostly as a luxury item, the manual mechanical watch has been around since the 17th century, when watchmakers miniaturized the timekeeping technology used in clocks. Inside a manual mechanical watch, a spring that must be periodically wound by hand keeps the gears turning. Though not as precise as their electronic successors, mechanical watches are still favored by horologists for their delicate parts and elegant craftsmanship.

Automatic Mechanical

Automatic watches, which were developed in the 1920s and standard by the 1960s, use the natural movements of the wearer's wrist throughout the day to wind the watch's mainspring. This eliminates the need to wind the watch by hand, improving its accuracy.

Quartz Electronic

Replacing springs and gears, a small battery keeps a quartz watch ticking. Quartz watches are the most precise and the least expensive to manufacture, leading to their dominance over the watch market since they were first mass-produced in the 1980s.

What is the watch made of?

What the watch is made of doesn't only affect how the timepiece looks, but also how much it weighs, how long it stays looking new, and how it interacts with your skin. Each material has its own bonuses and drawbacks.

What extra features does the watch have?

Any function that extends beyond basic timekeeping is known as a "complication." Here's a rundown of the complications you're most likely to see on modern wrist watches:

Chronograph

What it is: a stopwatchLook for it if: you'd like to have a stopwatch handy without pulling out your smartphone; good for coaches and runners

Multifunction Subdial

What it is: a subdial that indicates other elements of time: the day of the week, a 24-hour clock, or Greenwich Mean Time, for exampleLook for it if: you'd like a watch with enhanced functionality and a professional-looking face

Date Display

What it is: a window, extra hand, or subdial that indicates the dateLook for it if: you like to time travel

Moon-Phase Indicator

What it is: a subdial or window that shows the full, half, quarter, or new moonLook for it if: you'd like a watch with a little aesthetic flair

Alarm

What it is: a built-in reminder of an event that can be set independently of the timeLook for it if: you run late, have a busy schedule, or need an alarm when a smartphone is out of reach

Tachymeter

What it is: an instrument for measuring speed, usually built in as a scale on the inner or outer bezel, and usually found in conjunction with a chronographLook for it if: you're a pilot or racecar driver; it helps gauge the rate at which a vehicle is moving

Since you'll likely be exposed to rain, snow, or humidity at some point, a water-resistant watch can be a wise investment. A watch's water-resistance rating indicates how much moisture the timepiece can take before it's damaged. Because these ratings are not intuitive, we've laid out this handy table explaining the difference between basic water-resistant watches and diver watches:
